Product: HP Slimline Desktop - 270-p043w

I bought an external power switch for my desk so I don’t need to find the pc one. Does anyone know the exact pin configuration for this model? Slimline 270-p043w

post is not really clear....................

 

but i question why you are not simply using a  power strip that has a master power on/off switch and placing it where you want it

Because I am changing the power button itself, nothing to do with power source.

like i said,  your original post was not clear...................now that you have provided needed information read below

 

the power button will be a normally open momentary type switch (2 pins) however if the switch has lighting then you will have more pins to enable lighting

 

many newer systems have the switch mounted/soldered  to a circuit board, however the operation of the switch remains the same (push to turn on and  push/hold to turn off)
